Travel Insurance for Pregnant Women

The right travel insurance for pregnant women

Many Insurance companies will not cover pregnant women after 28 weeks of pregnancy regardless of their health so it is a good idea that you check the small print on the insurance policy. A common restriction placed on travel insurance policies is that a pregnant women will not be covered unless she returns from the insured trip at least 8 weeks before her due date. This works out at roughly 32 weeks gestation so it is important that you work out your dates before you plan your holiday.

While you may not be covered for pregnancy related conditions by your travel insurance policy (especially if you are travelling towards the very end of your pregnancy), travel insurance is still important as it is likely to provide you with financial protection against cancellation, repatriation and loss of luggage, passports or money. However, you should always check the small print prior to purchasing a policy to ensure that you are both aware and happy with the terms and conditions relating to the level of travel cover provided.
